In the first pic you can see a machine tool/bit attached to one. The "Rigid Pipe Wrench Springs" are just a bonus, there's like 3 in...

These look like some sort of machining bric-a-brac, got a whole box of 'em from somewhere, do they have any value? Be expensive to ship...

One of the first things Dad did to his brand new '68 CB350 was put the Triumph air cleaners on it.

2nd "refresh" on my watch, she'll never be this pretty again as long as I have her.

Too cold to take the bike to the weekly local C&C, so broke out the '63 Cutlass. The bizarre thing is, I sat in this very parking lot...

Innovation in a capitalist society is driven by potential profits and efficiency, and limited by the laws of physics and thermodynamics.

No experience with that specific product, but we've been using a similar product on our airplanes for the last 15 years or so, it seems...

I was on my way to the first show after I finished my initial "restore" on my '74, and the clutch cable went away about 15 miles from...

I'm in the process of hopefully giving away like 13 4' fluorescent fixtures and an unopened case of bulbs tomorrow morning- finally...

Eh, I'm not so sure- I DO NOT want any of the heirloom china or silverware, nor any large furniture. We had a family pool table, 100+...

You weren't riding that in Maryland yesterday wearing shorts with a young girl on the back, were you? Spotted a VMax near the...

It kind of depends on what "system" the painter used on the tank/covers, base/clear, simple lacquer, or simple enamel. I'm old, there...

Called the spring "refresh" done today. New paint on all the tins, tapered steering head bearings, new fork springs, oil and seals, new...

Correct. I think the point I was trying to make is, the same plug has 2 different labels/part #'s. Search for one part #, and I gotta...

And, in conclusion, while there are no NGK BPR7ES plugs within 30 miles, there are plenty pf NGK 5534 plugs available, and the box has...

The official NGK site "seems" to indicate they are the same. https://www.ngk.com/ngk-5534-bpr7es-nickel-spark-plug NGK 5534 BPR7ES...

Yeesh. Started the bike up this morning and after about 30 seconds one cylinder dropped out. No spark. Swapped plugs side to side and...

FWIW, I had a pair of the same style voltmeter. I wired the first one into a switched circuit inside the headlight bucket, but forgot...

As noted, main fuse. But, also, verify the connections at the battery are good, and anywhere else the big wires go between the battery...

Ah, the joys, trials and tribulations of aging. My folks are the classic "boomers"('46 and '48), and I'm right at the start of...

Very nice. For almost 25 years my home river was full of grass and clear as gin with plenty of warm water (largemouth bass, striped...

I gotta say, the car and the dog draw human females like some sort of magnet. No BS.

As expected, not much today. Mostly shop chores, had to fix a section of air hose between the compressor and hose reel, during which...

Learn to fly- little airplanes are fun like motorcycle!

Went as far as I'm willing to go with the tank paint, after a final wet sand of 2500, I rubbed it all out with Meguiers #7, waxed it...
